On Friday, the clock struck zero for Renegade Kid's Kickstarter project Cult County. The crowdfunding campaign failed to achieve its $580,000 goal by a wide margin. It seems that target was a bridge too far, as the Mutan...

Last year’s CSI: Deadly Intent was a bit of an ugly duckling, and something many of us would easily scoff at if we saw it in a store. Yet even though it was just a CSI version of Ace Attorney with a crime lab -- witho...

Crysis 3 is getting some downloadable content in the form of The Lost Island. This pack will include four new maps, plus new weapons, and two new modes called Frenzy and Possession. Want to know more all about these new featu...

Sequel time! For the originals, here's Crysis and Portal.
I've learned my lesson. Crysis joins the list of franchises I'll never touch again. That's not to say Crysis 2 was a bad game. Just a bad all ...

FPS Crysis was always a PC thing, but now it's also a console thing as of today. Yeah, it's not going to look like it would on a high-end PC rig, but CryEngine3 is definitely doing some fancy stuff with the visuals.
You can ...

Double Cryamore news, everybody! First off is the GDC demo's release to the public. I haven't had a chance to test it out myself (it looks like it will take around 7 hours to download), but it's free, so I can't be too ...

When was the last time you barfed a rainbow? Has it been too long? Have you never barfed a rainbow? If you haven't, you should, and now you can without spending too much, because Critter Crunch is listed on PlayStation Networ...

Everybody loves Rube Goldberg machines. It's a fact of life. From breakfast in Pee Wee's Big Adventure to OK Go's "This Too Shall Pass," the art of building a contraption to perform a simple task through a series ...

CounterSpy's stylized Cold War re-imagining is on point. It looks good, with its spindly spy running, rolling, and leaping like a jumping spider. It sounds good, with its jazzy soundtrack that reminds of James Bond.
Unfortunately, the rest of it feels half-baked.

On any ordinary day, streamer Kyente would have obliterated his brother at Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. But, his birthday is not just any other day -- it's the day that his sibling decided to strike back in the most cre...

As it turns out, the duration of that Costume Quest 2 timed-exclusive on PlayStation wasn't all that long. Like, one day. But, that's okay because it means that everyone will have it in time for Halloween. That's s...

There aren't many games out there that deal with children and their struggle to cope with situations that we take for granted every day. While there are some stories out there like Papo & Yo, the market isn't exactly fill...

Contra: Shattered Soldier is blasting its way onto PlayStation Network next week. Announced on the latest edition of the PlayStation Blogcast, the shooter will arrive as a part of next week's store update.

PlayStation Plus owners this month will be treated not only to a free copy of PSN title Crash Commando, but also with an early free download of Comix Zone. The brutally difficult comic book themed beat'em up will be making it...

I think that we can all agree that games set in World War II are pretty much dead. Medal of Honor started it, Call of Duty treaded in and eventually killed it, and Brothers in Arms is taking a page from the Que...

Yep. Imagine that, another World War II game! This one, however, is an aerial combat title that puts you in the cockpit of some of the most famous planes to have patrolled the skies during the Second World War. Players will ...

When Codemasters announced DiRT 2, I was very happy to see that it still had Colin McRae's name on it. I found the first game to be "okay," and after playing the demo for this second installment, it seemed we had a great raci...

What started out as a Kickstarter project with a meager $20,000 funding goal has been picked up by Ubisoft, of all publishers, and brought to the usual digital platforms.
At first glance, Cloudberry Kingdom may not be much to...

There's one deal on PlayStation Plus this week that just seems too good to pass up. Starting tomorrow, Critter Crunch will be available for only $1.40. At that price there's almost no excuse not to be regurgitating color...

You may remember Class of Heroes 2G from the awesome limited run of physical copies its launch is going to spawn. Now, you can look forward to a special "dual-screen" feature coming to the North American release, which will ...

I'm unsure how sales for the original DS version of Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes were, but I'd be willing to wager they weren't nearly as high as they should have been.
Capybara Games has taken that excellent handheld p...

NIS America has plans to release Acquire's latest multiplayer action title, Clan of Champions, later this summer on the PlayStation Network in both North America and Europe. Later this year the game will also launch on S...

One of the things that I love about the Japanese school of game development is that it allows for retail based home console titles to be about anything. It's similar to the difference between Manga and Western comi...

Retro game inspired music speaks to me (as I'm sure it does for many of you), and while I do enjoy a good remix/remake/remaster here and there, a lot of my favorite pieces are original compositions. Electronic music creator ...

inXile Entertainment has released their HD re-imagining of Choplifter for the PC, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade today for $14.99/1200 MS Points. Choplifter HD is just the latest in a long line of games to get the m...

Torn Banner Studios is bringing its first-person medieval combat multiplayer game Chivalry to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall by way of publisher Activision.
While it's nice to have this sort of title available on conso...

Ubisoft launched its painterly turn-based role-playing game on a bunch of platforms with one notable exception being the PlayStation Vita. Sad times, but not for too much longer. The company is bringing Child of Light to PS V...

The PS3 version of Child of Eden is almost here and Ubisoft gave us a fancy launch trailer to show off. There's not too much to say about it. Just like Rez the game is a swirl of pretty colors and abstract visuals, and...

A teaser site and PlayStation Network page have surfaced confirming that the 2D fighting game Chaos Code is making the trip to the North American PSN store sometime in the foreseeable future. According to a tw...

There's a new Champion Jockey game coming from Tecmo Koei. It will be out for the Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and all three versions will make use of the motion controls offered by each console. As you can see in the vid...

I always wanted to play Cel Damage but never got around to it. Stupid younger self.
It was a pleasant surprise, then, to find out we'd have a great excuse to play this cartoony vehicular combat game again on modern consoles b...

Atlus has revealed some figures in its earnings report, but it's in Japanese which is all bukkake to me. Luckily Andriasang has translated some key info. Catherine sold 260,000 units in Japan and 230,000 internationally, on X...

The announcement of DuckTales Remastered caused a lot of people to freak the hell out, but that wasn't the only trick WayForward had up their sleeves. They've got a new IP coming "exclusively" to Nintendo 3DS, DS, Wii, W...

Konami has locked down the release dates for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Collection -- it'll be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 5 in North America and November 8 in Europe. Priced at $29.99 / £29.9...

Alucard is all set to star in an all new DLC campaign for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, and you can get a taste of his dual sword action in this new video. For the most part he kind of just stands there looking cool, but t...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow -- Mirror of Fate HD has made its way to consoles, and now it's heading to Steam later this month, Konami has announced. No pricing scheme has been announced, but it'll probably be inline with the...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition is now available on Steam for $29.99. It brings all the content of the current gen console game plus all the DLC add-on content and turned up graphics (HD, 60 FPS). I'm be...

You played this on your Xbox 360 last year, didn't you. Or maybe you didn't after reading Jim's review. I thought it was fun enough. If you've missed it because you're a PS3-only guy, I'd say its worth a go when it hits the P...

Well, this is awkward. Not only did Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 review fairly poorly across the board, now we're seeing former developers step into the light and call out Spanish development studio, MercurySteam, for poor ...

As of right now Konami has made Castlevania Harmony of Despair available for the PSN, complete with some free content that was originally DLC for the XBLA release. For those of you who don't remember, this was the crazy...

CastleStorm, a fun blend of tower defense mechanics and projectile flinging from Zen Studios, arrives today on the PlayStation Network. Previously released on Xbox 360 and PC, the game is now available on PS3 or PS Vita ...

Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse will be out on September 3 for the PlayStation Network, and September 4 for Xbox Live Arcade and PC. It'll run you $14.99 across all platforms.
Starting on August 20 and until Septembe...

Until today, Castle Crashers fans on the PS3 have been left in the dust in regards to a few DLC packs. But starting right now, you can download the Can't Stop Crying Pack and the Legend of Blacksmith Pack for $1.99 each. The ...

In case you've forgotten, let me remind you about Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL, which is the upgraded console version of the fighting game that came out for the 3DS this past spring. Punch Time XL will be out ...

A year removed from the PlayStation Move's launch, one should expect that tech demos and minigame compilations would be out of the door to make way for the kind of genuinely rich experiences that were promised.
Carnival Island is a compilation of minigames that demonstrate the technology of the PlayStation Move.
Oh well. Same time next year?

Both Thor: God of Thunder & Captain America: Super Soldier were announced as new 3DS titles by Sega today. Both games were released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS earlier this year, and now the...

After a nearly two year gap with the PC version, Capsized is finally out on the Xbox Live Arcade today, with a PS3 release to follow later this summer. It's launching at a standard 800 MSP ($9.99), which is the exact price it...

Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium is set to arrive next week on PlayStation Network, the silver-tongued foxes of the PlayStation Blogcast have revealed.

[Update: Capcom has confirmed that this bundle is the real deal.]
EB Games Canada has a listing for Capcom Essentials, a 5-in-1 pack containing five of Capcom's biggest franchises. The pack is planned for the Xbox 360 and Pla...

Back when we first reviewed Capcom Arcade Cabinet we told you it would probably be best to just buy all the titles at once rather than dealing with the staggered releases of game packs. That time is now. You'll get all 15 gam...

For the most part, I'm over endless runners, but I'll always have Canabalt. It hit at the right time and holds up well. Matter of fact, it's gotten even better with age: there's a free new update for the iOS version, out now,...

So it seems that Call of Juarez's brief stint in the modern era is over with. Goodbye and good riddance, I say. Returning to the old west setting of its series heritage, Call of Juarez: The Gunslinger aims to bring an arcade flair all its own.
Does it actually work, though?

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood wasn't a great videogame by any stretch of the imagination, but it had a certain charm to it, and some terrific ideas. The series seems to be all about these really clever design choices that suffer from a lack of follow-through, be it through lack of time, skill, budget or all three.
Call of Juarez: The Cartel is exactly like that. But worse. Far worse.

Call of Juarez is a series I've always wanted to enjoy. It's hard not to admire its attempts at clever storytelling, and the commitment to creating a wild west first-person shooter in an age where everything's about blasting ...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has removed a map from its servers after Muslim gamers complained (in fairness, quite politely) of offense. The problem lies in two paintings hung in a bathroom in the Favela map, containing the...

The biggest game of the year is finally here. Infinity Ward created one of the most popular, well-crafted and subsequently imitated first-person-shooter games in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and a sequel was inevitable. Tw...

Look, $50 is a lot of money for a Season Pass in a first-person shooter. If it was just comprised of 16 maps alone, no matter how good they were, it probably wouldn't be worth the money for all but the most diehard of FPS fan...

I'll hand it to Infinity Ward for spicing things up by included the Predator in Call of Duty: Ghosts with its Devastation DLC pack. More moves like that and the studio might just win over some of the fans who have moved on to...

Call of Duty: Ghosts Onslaught DLC was released last month for the Xbox One and Xbox 360. And like clockwork, the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC versions of the game will see the new content a month later. Specifically ...
